EmpirBus is a CAN-bus based DC power distribution system.
In an EmpirBus system the cables for each consumer is connected to the closest EmpirBus unit. The cables for the switch is also connected to the closest EmpirBus unit, not neccesary the same unit as the consumer.
Compare this to a traditional system where the cables for all consumers are connected from a curcuit breaker in a central panel, throug the switch and on to the consumer.
An EmpirBus membrane switch panel can also be used to control consumers. This reduces wireing even more since 8 switches are available with only 4 wires for CAN-bus and power supply.
Each EmpirBus unit needs to be supplied with 9-32VDC power and all units are interconnected with a CAN-bus cable (1-pair).
The EmpirBus units are placed close to consumers and switches.
The logical functions of the system is configured using a simple PC software.
When pressing the switch the signal is sent from the input channel where the switch is connected via the CAN-bus to the output channel where the consumer is connected.
EmpirBus greatly reduces the ammount of wires needed and the effort to connect them.
Many exciting logical functions like dimmers, time delays and burglar alarm are available.
